Ashia’s Journey

Our first step was to listen attentively to her desires and goals. Ashia was dealing with stained, short, and yellowed teeth, and despite her vibrant and happy personality, her self-consciousness made her not want to smile freely. While she knew the end result she was after, she was unaware that her smile showed too much of her gums, which was a major reason for her dissatisfaction. 

Upon seeing the digital smile design, a standard part of the smile makeover process at Sapphire Smiles, Ashia recognized the need for a gum lift. Dr. Antoun ensured her needs were met and once her design was finalized and approved, she underwent a gum lift with our periodontist using our state-of-the-art laser technology for optimal results and fast healing.

The gum lift corrected her teeth' proportions, allowing our cosmetic dentist to create the perfect smile with porcelain veneers. Ashia received six porcelain veneers, with a strong emphasis on making them look natural to blend seamlessly with her existing teeth. We took a conservative approach, opting for minimal-prep veneers, which are very thin layers of porcelain. In addition, we also whitened her teeth around the veneers. This process completely transformed her smile, boosting her confidence and allowing her radiance to shine through.
